Undressed Syrah 2023

Stonecroft has the oldest Syrah vines in New Zealand. These vines were rescued by the founder of Stoncroft, Dr. Alan Limmer, from the Te Kauwhata Research station and planted at Stonecroft in 1984. For the Undressed Syrah we do not add any sulphur. No added sulphites and suitable for vegans.

“An expressive bouquet of blackberry and baked raspberry fruits, licorice and red currant, a whisper of peppery spice and smoky soils lead to a palate of the same. A satin touch before the impact of fine polished tannins and a backbone of acidity layer-in to the mix of textures and flavours. Tart raspberry and black cherry get stronger as the wine opens out in glass. Delicious, fresh and fruity with a lengthy complex finish. best drinking from late 2024 through 2029."
